Berry Cream Cheese Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crust, combine the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until moistened. Pour into a 9-inch springform pan. With your hands, press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan and about 1-inch up the sides. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• To make the filling, cream the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium and add the eggs and egg yolks, 2 at a time, mixing well. Scrape down the bowl and beater, as necessary. With the mixer on low, add the sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly and pour into the cooled crust.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven temperature down to 225 degrees and bake for another 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the door wide. The cake will not be completely set in the center. Allow the cake to sit in the oven with the door open for 30 minutes. Take the cake out of the oven and allow it to sit at room temperature for another 2 to 3 hours, until completely cooled. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the cake from the springform pan by carefully running a hot knife around the outside of the cake. Leave the cake on the bottom of the springform pan for serving.
• To make the topping, melt the jelly in a small pan over low heat. In a bowl, toss berries and the warm jelly gently until well mixed. Arrange the berries on top of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Whisk brown sugar, 1 1/2 cups flour, oats, and cinnamon together in a bowl; gradually stir in oil until mixture is crumbly. Press half the crumb mixture into the prepared pan; set remaining crumbs aside for topping.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 10 minutes. Remove crust from oven and cool slightly, leaving oven on.
• Place serviceberries and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes; stir in lemon juice. Whisk white sugar and 2 tablespoons flour together in a small bowl; stir sugar mixture into berries and cook until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes; pour berry filling over crumb crust.
• Sprinkle cream cheese pieces evenly over berry filling. Spread remaining crumb mixture over cream cheese layer and press gently with a potato masher.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crumb topping is golden and filling is bubbly, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan160C/ conventional 180C/gas 4 and butter and line the base of a loose-based 22cm round cake tin with non-stick baking paper or reusable Bake-o-glide.
• Put the butter, sugar, eggs,flour, baking powder and vanilla in a bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes, or with a hand electric beater for 1-2 minutes, until lighter in colour and well mixed. Beat in 4 tbsp soured cream, then stir in half the blueberries with a large spoon.
• Tip the mixture into the tin and spread it level. Bake for 50 minutes until it is risen, feels firm to the touch and springs back when lightly pressed. Cool for 10 minutes, then take out of the tin and peel off the paper or lining. Leave to finish cooling on a wire rack.
• To make the frosting, beat the soft cheese with the icing sugar and the remaining soured cream in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread over the top of the cooled cake (don't be impatient as the frosting will melt if the cake is too warm) and scatter with the remaining blueberries. The cake will keep in the fridge for a couple of days. Bring it to room temperature for about an hour before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Spray 9-loaf-cup baking pan with cooking spray; sprinkle lightly with flour.
• In medium bowl, sift together 1 cup flour, the salt and baking powder. Set aside.
• In large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until creamy. Add half of the 1 cup granulated sugar in 2 stages, beating on medium speed about 2 minutes after each addition until butter and sugar are pale and fluffy. Add 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk, one at a time, beating well and scraping side of bowl after each addition. Beat in vanilla just until combined. Using rubber spatula, fold flour mixture into butter mixture until combined.
• In medium bowl, toss 1 tablespoon flour with berries. Fold flour-coated berries into batter. Let berries stand while making cream cheese mixture.
• In clean large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth and creamy. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar; beat until well combined. Beat in 1 egg, scraping side of bowl. Beat in 1 tablespoon flour.
• Divide Pound Cake batter evenly among loaf cups. Divide Cream Cheese Mixture evenly over batter in cups. Using butter knife or off-set spatula, gently make a few strokes through batter for a subtle swirl; smooth tops.
• Bake in center of oven 25 to 30 minutes or until cakes are golden brown around edges and toothpick inserted in center of cakes comes out clean. Cool cakes in pan on cooling rack 10 minutes. Turn cakes out of pan onto cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cakes can be stored in airtight container in refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
